For maximum absorption Levothyroxine should be taken with water 1 hour before or 2 hours after food and drink, 2 hours away from other medication and supplements, and 4 hours away from calcium, iron, vitamin D supplements.
If you observe the above guidelines your diet will not impact on Levothyroxine absorption.
Please be aware that vegetarians and vegans cannot obtain B12 from plant foods and should supplement methylcobalamin with a B Complex vitamin to prevent B12 deficiency.
